Mae Sa Elephant Camp, Chiang Mai - Thailand

Located in the foothills of the mountains north of Chiang Mai, Mae Sa Elephant Camp allows you to get up close and personal with these huge animals. You can take a ride through the jungle on the back of these mighty beasts or get involved with bathing them.

The most popular attraction is the elephant shows, showing off a mix of strength and skill from the elephants as well as the bond they share with their mahouts. The elephants really seem to be enjoying themselves running around playing football and various other games. Elephant paintings are amazing – there's so much detail from such big animals.
